The babies in my family all had homemade food. Only when going out, we would buy a prepared baby´s food.
I put a piece of meat in a pot (red meat with no grease, chicken or fish) and boiled it. Depending on the meat, I added sooner or later all kinds of veggies. Potatoes, pumpkin, zuchinni, swiss chard or spinach, carrot). It depended on what I had at home but I tried to put as many different veggies as I could. You can also put tomato. NO SALT!!! When it was cooked I put it in the blender. I would fill yogurt glasses as I made it for 2 or 3 days. I added a teaspoon of olive oil to the warm soup at the last minute.
I can´t but enclose a picture of the first soup my grandson had. He´s old now (a big man 6 years old) but that first meal was very funny. He got more soup in his face than in his tummy. By the way, it´s not necessary to give more than 3 or 3 spoonfulls the first time. They have to get acostumed to eating.
The different tastes come from the diferent meats and the vegetables you put. Don´t put cabagge or cawliflower at the beginning.
If a baby learns to eat different tastes and soup time is a good experience, he won´t be picky later.happy
I hope this helps.hugs


Vicente´s first meal

Hi friendshugs,

Tones of thanks, this is really good information, but only problem my sis is pure veg, so we can add only vegetables.
and the photo your attached, the child is very cutecheeringhappy

Vicente is my youngest grandson and I think he knows he´s a favorite of the ladies of the family.lol
Probably you can add a bit of milk then, for the proteins. Don´t put those cubes that give flavour. They have lots of salt and spices a little baby shouldn´t eat (and we neitherrofl). After he geys acostumed to eat, you can cook some lentils or beans and pass them through a sieve. Proteins from legumes are wonderful.

hi again,

thanks a lot for the valuable input, she started with lentils and vegetable.
How about cheese, is that good option, i mean i read in the diet of 7-8 months old, but if suppose we select cheese, which type is suitable for such age group???


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 312 out of 9,011 in parenting  2 years ago

If you give the baby cheese, make sure you also give him orange juice. Oats and orange juice make stools a bit loose. It happens the other way with rice and cheese.


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  2 years ago

hi again?


Citrus fruits are advisable for this age group?? as my sister thinks say that should not be given, and she started with apple and papaya..
and cheese what is baby cheese??? sorry i really don't know about this, and i am really curious to know more on this topic as i help my sister..


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  2 years ago

The salt that veggies have are more than enough for anyone. Added salt is a n acquired taste and not healthy at all.

so mean to say salt is completely avoided in making meals for this age group..


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 312 out of 9,011 in parenting  2 years ago

ABSOLUTLY!!! And we all should try to lower our salt intake. Too much salt means higher blood pressure and a lot more work for your kidneys.
Forgot to tell you: use fresh chesse first, hopefully no salt.


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 312 out of 9,011 in parenting  2 years ago

I meant fresh cheese for the baby.lol As for citrus, I d give her oranges first. Papaya can be given later.


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 312 out of 9,011 in parenting  2 years ago

Apples are very good too.


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  2 years ago

fresh cheese means cottage cheese/paneer


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 312 out of 9,011 in parenting  2 years ago

Yes, that´s it!thumbup Take care it´s not too salty though


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  2 years ago

yes, that's good, because we can easily make the home made cottage cheese, thankshugshugshugs

well, not for sure, but don't add sugar or salt to your taste, because that just makes the kid's palette crave them, and they don't need them - they will eat what you feed them


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  2 years ago

hi friend,

I read some where like salt (very little/pinch) is must even in the diet of such age group (correct me if i am wrong), because it help them in the brain development, i guess i seen documentary on deficiency of salt in the diet???
AND you said a very good point, they will eat what we feed them?? but my niece is very smart, i don't know how she learnt, but i she don't like, she show the tongue and throw out, roflactually very funny to watch the way she react, we she don't like the particular food..

Mushy breads that are drenched in gravy. Sweet potatoes and mashed white potatoes that are lump free...can even mix in some gravy. Almost anything that is soft and mushy basically. Just watch her for any kind of reactions. Good luck.
